Boleshay is a fabulous period former farmhouse quietly situated at the end of a no through lane and yet in the heart of this sought after village.
The original part of the property no doubt dates back several centuries, although the property is not listed. The current owners extended the property in the early 1990s, adding considerable square footage to the accommodation at both ground and first floor levels, together with adding an integral double garage.

The accommodation is arranged over ground and first floor, cleverly designed with twin staircases giving independence, if required, yet interconnecting which will prove useful for a younger family. There are many period features within the original section, to included flagstone flooring in certain rooms as well as an original fireplace.

The sought after village of Hardington Mandeville lies in a rural, yet accessible location between Yeovil and Crewkerne. Bishops Lane is a no through road, servicing a limited amount of properties and being situated directly off the village’s high street.

Village facilities include a Public House, post office, church and active village hall.

Hardington has a good community feel with this being an active village with numerous clubs and societies. Both Yeovil and Crewkerne offer a wide range of amenities, including mainline railway stations, Waitrose supermarket in Crewkerne and schooling at all levels, including the independent Perrott Hill School which is to be found a short drive away in the village of North Perrott.

This part of Somerset is known for its beautiful countryside and is close to the Dorset border therefore providing access to the Jurassic Coast.

Boleshay’s garden lies to the rear, enjoying both southerly and westerly aspects which will therefore allow the garden to experience sunshine during the majority of the day and evening. The whole plot extends to 0.23 of an acre, predominantly comprising mature lawned gardens with numerous outbuildings to include a large greenhouse on a stone base, an original stone shed with internal WC and hand basin, whilst in the top corner of the plot is a former byre that provides excellent storage for garden machinery, etc.
